Azure - App Service Plans

Cloud - Azure - App Service Plans Opspack

Azure App Service Plans simplify the provisioning, scaling, and management of multiple servers. It allows Administrators to provision multiple servers, deploy content to them, and use them to enable elastic scaling. Using App Service Plans, allows operations to be run on a server or an entire server farm, reducing costs and simplifying management.

What You Can Monitor

This Opspack allows you to monitor all the metrics you need to efficiently run Azure App Service Plans on Microsoft Azure. After installation, you'll be able to check Memory and CPU percentages, the HTTP queue length as well as the number of data bytes coming in and out.

Step 3: Find the Client/Application ID for your application

The Client/Application ID can be found in Azure Active Directory under the App registrations section from the Azure dashboard.

Step 4: Generate the Secret Key for your application

You will need to create a Secret Key for your application, once this has been created its value will be hidden so save the value during creation.

To create the Secret Key, select your application from the list, select the Settings within your application and then select the Keys option.

There you can create a new key by adding the description and expiration period and the value will be generated.

Step 5: Provide access to the subscription you wish to monitor

Navigate to the Subscriptions section and select the Subscription you selected before.

In the Subscription to be monitored, click Access Control (IAM).

Then click the Add button, select the required role and select the application, once for each of the following roles:
* Reader

If you are running more than one subscription these steps will need to be done for each one you wish to monitor.

Setup and Configuration

To configure and utilize this Opspack, you simply need to add the 'Cloud - Azure - App Service Plans' Opspack to your Opsview Monitor system.

Step 1: Import the Opspack

Download the cloud-azure-app-service-plans.opspack file from the Releases section of this repository.
Navigate to Host Template Settings inside Opsview Monitor and select Import Opspack in the top left corner.

Then click Browse and select the cloud-azure-app-service-plans.opspack file. Click Upload and then click Import when the file is uploaded.
You may see a 'CONFLICT' warning message after uploading - this is because all 'Cloud - Azure' Opspacks utilize the same variable (AZURE_CREDENTIALS) for authorizing access to your resources. Just click Overwrite and the Opspack should import successfully.

Step 2: Add the host template

Add the relevant host template (as listed in the Service Checks table above).
If this is a resource that is applicable for a host check (has a valid hostname or IP) then you can fill in the Primary Hostname/IP field with this, and then open the Advanced section at the bottom and change the Host Check Command type to TCP Port 80 (HTTP). If the resource has no hostname or public IP, then change Host Check Command to Always assumed to be UP.

Step 3: Add and configure variables required for this host

Add 'AZURE_CREDENTIALS' to the host, then override the Subscription ID, Client ID, Secret Key and Tenant ID to match the values retrieved earlier.

Depending on your host template, you will require different additional variables declared as specified below:
